Dear Moderators:

In the ONElist spirit of community, we are pleased to announce ONEreach. ONEreach is an initiative by ONElist to periodically sponsor fun and interactive programs that encourage the growth of your communities while simultaneously contributing to them. It is our hope that the ONEreach initiative will foster even stronger communities around the common interests and causes that have brought your communities together in the first place.

We are kicking off ONEreach today with the "Grow to Give" Program.

Through the "Grow to Give" Program, ONElist will donate $5,000 to each of two charities chosen by the two communities that grow their membership the most within the next two months. The community that grows the most in actual new ONElist subscribers and the community that grows the most as a percentage basis of new ONElist subscribers will each choose a recipient charity. ONElist will then donate $5,000 to that charity in the name of the community.

All ONElist communities as of April 19, 1999 at 12:01 a.m. PDT are automatically participants in the "Grow to Give" Program. The program will run from April 19, 1999 through June 19, 1999 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

As moderators, we encourage you to inform your communities about the "Grow to Give" Program and our overall ONEreach initiative. The Program Overview is posted on our website at:

Good luck to you and your community on becoming a "Grow to Give" Community!!

Thanks,
 

The ONElist Team
